----------------------------------
> LocaleConverters do not take the target type into account
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEANUTILS-449
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-449
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Reporter: Oliver Heger
> Fix For: 1.9.0
>
>
> The base implementation of the {{convert(Class type, Object value, String
> pattern)}} method in {{BaseLocaleConverter}} completely ignores the _type_
> parameter which defines the desired target class of the conversion.
> Obviously, it is assumed that the converter is correctly registered for the
> class it supports.
> Converters should check whether they support the passed in target type and
> throw an exception if not. This would lead to more robust code providing
> meaningful error messages. Otherwise, a wrong converter registration is
> harder to detect; it would probably lead to {{ClassCastException}} errors
> elsewhere in the application.
